New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Ezekiel 2
5 As for them, whether they listen or not-for they are a rebellious house-they will know that a prophet has been among them.
6 And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
7 But you shall speak My words to them whether they listen or not, for they are rebellious.
8 "Now you, son of man, listen to what I am speaking to you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house. Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you."
9 Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.
10 When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
Ezekiel 3
1 Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."
2 So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll.
3 He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
4 Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.
5 For you are not being sent to a people of unintelligible speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel,
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
